Maybe we as IMOC should setup a PayPal account and get some dosh in for future work and other stuff!!!
PayPal is free to join and it allows people to freely donate...so much easier too.
Money generating ideas:
£5 charge for inititating GBs
A small fee for the IMOC affiliates if they want a banner to advertise
Looking good

Re: Money Generating Ideas for IMOC
This is a great idea and could be intergrated into the website. A page could be used for donations, special features for the message board (i.e. member features) and another for sponsors etc..
Good thinking!!!

Yep, we're looking at something like that .. money isn't an immediate pressing issue but its really great to see people willing to chip in a little to keep the site going.
Currently we're building up the site's features (we now have our own IMOC 'reference model' site to test stuff on - we've got some really good stuff there that I'm pleased with) and if testing goes well on these we should have the more complex changes in place before Christmas - some of the more simple ones being done over the next few days.

We've been talking about Banner ads on the Admin list and the current Affiliates scheme - personally I'd like to keep he site Ad free and based on subscriptions.
Currently we're looking at the possibility adding features to the site for members who have paid subscriptions - there may be tiers of subscription with additional features for each tier that regular users here may find userful - Galleries, file storage etc etc.

I'd personally prefer to pay a contribution towards the site and keep it Ad free. Banner ads are a pain in the ar$e.
Bring back the affiliates section so that there is a designated space for business adverts.

PS Love the new site, just hope it will behave itself better than the old one did.
Re: Money Generating Ideas for IMOC
Im willing to pay to help out. Not too bothered about banners but the affiliates section was good.

Re: Money Generating Ideas for IMOC
I definately agree with keeping the main pages add free, I do think it still needs some sort of affiliates page with a basic list of services supplied

Yep agreed on the Affilliates - we're in the process of contacting them all.
Could you post a note up in the suggestions forum though so we can track this one along with all the good ideas you folks are having ?

Re: Money Generating Ideas for IMOC
What is wrong with ads? It works ok for Evo.com and Pistonheads.
Re: Money Generating Ideas for IMOC
The banner ads i was thinking of were like the ones over at www.mr2oc.com and www.lancerregister.com.
Have a main affiliates page, but have banners at the top for the various affiliates to advertise, which the affiliates pay an annual fee...such as GTSCHRIS, ROGUESYSTEMS, etc etc. Trust me, the number of hits on there website will be far greater then just having an advert on a seperate affiliates page (which will be free), that way everyone is happy. The affiliates pays its annual fee for the banner and they WILL make more customers/revenue and IMOC gets its cut.

Re: Money Generating Ideas for IMOC
all sounds good to me, I like the idea of banners at the top of page
Plus hopefully in the next month or 2 I might even be an affiliate myself. Just have a few final details to sort out.
fingers crossed
